civilization.

pumps. It is understood that the Dufur
water company intend putting in one
of these pumps in the near future.

Some months ago a cow belonging to
Alvie C. Martin, of Victor, swallowed a
butcher knife that was in a pan of
sliced pumpkins that Mrs. Martin had
abandoned for a moment In the yard
near where the cow happened to be.
The "cow, which was a very valuable1
one, is still alive, notwithstanding that
the knife has been in her intestines for
over six months. The animal Is very
poor and the knife seems to be working
its way out, as there is a festering lump
on her side, through which the macer
ated food from her stomach is emitted
when the animal coughs oris exposed
to any unusual exertion.

River last Saturday and as she and Maud
McLeod had mounted a back at the boat
landing the boys of the graduating class
roared out their class yell and the horses,
as any decent Christian horses would
have done on bearing such an unearthly
noiee, ran towards home at lull gallop.
Maud jumped out and fortunately did
not break her neck or some less vital
part of her anatomy, but Pearl stuck to
the wagon, duckftl under the seat and
grabbed the lines and In due time pulled
the frightened steeds to a standstill.
Young America and a considerable
section of Old America were out in force
yesterday along the neighboring creeks
after the feBtive trout. Their success,
like that of ancient Csesar, was various,
but most of them came back without
being actually "skunked" wherever or
however they got the fish ; while several
had fairly well-filled baskets. Joe
Heroux, either by virtue of the fact or
as the just recompense of a powerful
imagination, is entitled to first prize.
He claims he captured a salmon trout,
just a little above the Ninth street
bridge, that measured 33 inches and
weighed four and a half pounds.
The following prayer of an old colored
minister four years ago, .on the eve of
the presidential election is good enough
to republish. It will be remembered
that the prayer was fully answered.
The old man taid : "O, Lord, save the
country from the hands of them who is
trying to but it tip. Give us plenty of
work and good money for it, so we can
take care of our wives and children, and
buy good bread and meat and pay for it.
We want to keep politics out of our
church and out of our prayer meetings,
but we can't help asking Thee to keep a
look out for that poor miserable sinner,
Bryan, who we hear is coming into this
state hand in hand witli'Satin. We ask
Thee, don't let him do no harm ; forgive
his sins that he is committing every day,
an then knock the studio out of him
next November."
The secretary of the interior has prac
tically decided that the nutnher of sheep
to be allowed to graze in the Ranier for
est reservation during the coining su
mer shall be limited to 250,000, the cat
tlo to 6500, and the horses i 1000. Until
further notice, this grazing will lw al
lowed without charge. The sfctptary is
anxious to impose a rharg nf frmii tn
to foilt cents on eacli head of slee, and
and from 10 In 12',) cents on lint. ami
cattle, but finds lie has no aiulorli to j
make this charge and will rqnest run i
gress to grant him that authority. It is'
very doubtful if congress will take such
action, as there is a general sentiment
among many western men against im
posing a charge for grazing on the pub
lic lands. No sheep or cattle from Ore
gon will be allowed on the reserve.
McAlister, who was arrested here
Friday for soliciting subscription for an
alleged orphan asylum at Cascade Locks,
is still in the county jail. Nothing has
developed since his arrest that makes it
certain that he ran be held much longer.
That he is a fraud is beyond the shadow
of a doubt, but to prove this in such a
way as to meat the requirements of the
law is another matter. According to
the Astoria News a fellow has been
operating down that way on eimilar
lines and the News' description answers
very well to McAlister. The prisoner is
a man between 40 and 50 years old. He
has light brown hair, wears glasses,
betimes, is well-built and about five
feet nine in height. He wears a blue
coat, pants and cap, that the addition
of a printed stripe or two transfers into
the nniforra of a quasi soldier in "God's
Regular Army." Over his shirt, or
probably instead of one, he wears a dark
red woolen sweater.
Working for a Portage Road,
Congressman Wilson, of Idaho, sends
a long communication to the Lewiston
Tribune telling what is being done by
himself and others for the improvement
of the Columbia river at the dalles. Mr.
Wileon appeared before the river and
harbor committee and urged the claims
of a portage road in preference to any
thing else as that which will beet meet
the immediate wants of the In'and Em
pire. Mr. Wileon showed that the es
timated coat of a canal and locks was
i4,uuu,uw, a boat railway J,U4,4o7 ana
a portage railway only $454,390; that
the last recommendation from the V. S.
engineers department favored a portage
road, and that as there are over $220,000
yet available from the appropriation fcr
a boat railway, it would require only
about an equal sum to finish the job.
Mr. Wilson answered the objection to a
portage road because it would be the
entering wedge to government owner
ship of railways by saying that "this
would not be a railroad in the common
acceptance of that term ; but would be
a mere incident to the improvement of
a great national waterway, with which
the question of government ownership
of railways had absolutely nothing to
do, and that any criticism of this project
from that standpoint could as well be
made to any improvement whether by
canals and locks or by railway."

WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING.
A Tala or the Cascade Locks Orphan
Asylum.
The county jail got a new inmate Fri
day night who has all the ear-marks of a
slick customer. He bad worked the
town Friday in the interest of an
alleged orphan asylum at the Cascade
Locks that, he claimed, contained,
300 children. He pretended that he
belonged to "God's Regular Army,"
an offshoot from the Salvation Army.
He had a letter-head bearing the written
signature of "Rev. Wm. Brown, Major,"
and claimed this as his credentials. He
eays Brown has charge of the work at
Seattle aud that Brown recently ordered
him to come to The Dalles and solicit
contribntions for the orphanage at the
Locks. When asked if he did not know
that there was no orphanage there be
said he did not know and waa only
obeying the orders of his superior, who
wrote him from Seattle that the orphan
age had been started there about two
weeks ago. From inquiries made by
the sheriff and Deputy Sexton it appears
the fellow actually collected money on
this pretext, thin as it ought to have
appeared to Dalles folks, from eight or
ten persons whose names, if they ap
peared in print, would cause a good
laugh among their friends. Tin Chron
icle man heard of the fellow's doings
yesterday afternoon from one who had
just heard of him soliciting subscription
from a party in the postotllce.
The sheriff was notified and tomo time
after dark Deputies Sexton and Alieky
tound this soldier of God's Regular
Army in Fouta' saloon consuming forty
road .lightening like a veritable Son on
Belial and bucking the slot machine
with the funds collected for the orphan
age for all there was in it. He was
placed under arrest, where be remains
pending an inquiry being made by the
Portland chief of police to see if he ia
not the same fellow that, according to
a Telegram report, had been working
Portland along the same lines a few
days ago. The fellow gives bit name as
II. B. McAlister and claims to be a Set
by birth; but his speech betrays him,
for he talks like an Englishman. How
ever that may be, he is undoubtedly a
fraud and it is to be hope the law may
be able to get a good grip on him nd
tend him over the road.
Mot Candidate,
Being ill for the past week and con
fined to my bed, I had no idea that my
Prohibition friends had the leaet thought
of placing me in nomination for coroner
nor any other office, as no intimation of
their political Intentions was given me.
Not desiring to accept the nomination,
I hereby declare that I am not a candi
date for that o III oi) under any considera
tion nor on any ticket whatever.
Wm. Miciiill.
